(1)  ( )Theformismighty |
() |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Theformismighty , Expensive point winner who built on previous promise in a first-time tongue strap (also had breathing operation) when easily winning 6-runner maiden at Market Rasen (20.6f) 15 days ago. Has a penalty to shoulder but may do better still. Easy win latest; now carries penalty against talented rival but still very much respected. |
|||
(2)  ( )Kruger Park |
() | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kruger Park , Didn't pull up any trees in a trio of novice hurdles before Christmas but has improved rapidly since going handicapping and got off the mark in dominant fashion at Newbury (20.5f, heavy) 34 days ago. Escapes a penalty for that and will be hard to beat if in the same form. Plenty in hand in Newbury handicap and he escapes a penalty today; strong form claims. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Theformismighty put the race to bed a good way out when breaking through at Market Rasen and given that was his first start after wind surgery, the Dan Skelton-trained gelding may yet have deeper performances to come. However, KRUGER PARK has also made good progress and the vote goes his way in this close-knit match, with Paul Nicholls' improving contender escaping a penalty for his success in a Newbury conditional riders' handicap.
KRUGER PARK escapes a penalty for his dominant Newbury success and is taken to prove too strong for Market Rasen-scorer Theformismighty.
Things clicked in a big way for KRUGER PARK in a conditionals' handicap at Newbury last month and he is taken to follow up.

(4)  (13/8 -9%)Twp Stori |
13/8(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Twp Stori 13/8, Progressive type who got off the mark in 5-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f, heavy) 17 days ago, shaken up to assert. Expected to be bang there despite taking a 7 lb rise in the weights. Progressive 6yo who won in good style at Fontwell last month; holds leading claims up 7lb. |
|||
(2)  (9/2 +0%)Moonlight Artist |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Moonlight Artist 9/2, Got off the mark at Exeter (23f, soft) in November and largely in good nick since, second of 6 in handicap hurdle (3/1) at Wincanton (24.7f, heavy) 28 days ago. Can give another good account. Beaten 21l when second at Wincanton but it wasn't a bad run and he could be involved. |
|||
(3)  (6/1 +0%)Young At Heart |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Young At Heart 6/1, Unreliable individual. Not discredited when third of 4 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, heavy) 17 days ago, going in snatches. Up in trip. Others remain more persuasive. Pretty encouraging efforts in first two handicaps and the step up in trip could be a plus. |
|||
(5)  (6/1 +25%)Newtonian |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Newtonian 6/1, Remains a maiden after 19 runs but he posted a respectable fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, soft) 26 days ago. Considered with cheekpieces back on. Not without a chance on this season's best form, but he's inconsistent and now 0-19. |
|||
(7)  (13/2 -18%)R Bernard |
13/2(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) R Bernard 13/2, Poor maiden hurdler/chaser for Sam Allwood. Good effort on yard bow when third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, heavy) 17 days ago so not ruled out with cheekpieces back on. Made it 0-13 on recent yard debut at Southwell but well backed and may have needed the run. |
|||
(1)  (9/1 -38%)River Voyage |
9/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) River Voyage 9/1, Winning Irish pointer and best run over hurdles when third of 6 in novice at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) 18 days ago. Much respected on his handicap debut. Well beaten on his 3 hurdle runs but this point winner has realistic claims now h'capping. |
|||
(6)  (22/1 -10%)Elfride |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Elfride 22/1, Improved to win a 23f Uttoxeter handicap last spring but it's all been rather inauspicious since and she looks up against it from 2 lb out of the handicap. Won at Uttoxeter last May but has struggled more recently; major turnaround required. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
TWP STORI ran out a comfortable winner at Fontwell and assuming the relatively quick turnaround isn't an issue, another big run can be expected from the six-year-old while the forecast heavy ground is still on his side. Moonlight Artist should also handle the conditions and can make this a good test for the selection. Young At Heart is going the right way and could make an impact if she handles the step up in trip.
An open handicap but Sam Drinkwater's progressive TWP STORI looked to have something in hand when scoring at Fontwell last time and can follow up at the chief expense of Wincanton runner-up Moonlight Artist. Handicap-debutant River Voyage could also have a say along with in-form maiden R Bernard.
There is a lot to like about the claims of TWP STORI (nap), who has improved over staying trips and had something in hand at Fontwell.

(2)  (9/4 -29%)Nine Nine Nine |
9/4(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Nine Nine Nine 9/4, Off the mark at Leicester in January and doubled tally back at that venue last month. Remained in form since, third of 5 in handicap chase at Haydock (19.9f, soft) 5 days ago. Underfoot conditions fine and entitled to go well again. Two wins this year and fair third at Haydock on Saturday; might not be far away. |
|||
(4)  (9/4 +0%)Yellow Jacket |
9/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Yellow Jacket 9/4, Took advantage of a slipping mark when shedding his maiden tag in a 7-runner handicap chase (10/3) at Bangor (17.4f, heavy) in February prior to finishing solid second from 4 lb higher at Huntingdon (16.5f) 18 days ago. One of the likelier types back up in trip. In good form over 2m1f/2m the last twice and every chance he'll be fine at this trip. |
|||
(1)  (10/3 +26%)Kap Chidley |
10/3(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kap Chidley 10/3, Made a promising return when runner-up at Uttoxeter (3m) in October and again ran well when fifth at Musselburgh the following month. Disappointed twice since though, latterly on back of wind op/fitted with tongue strap (retained here) when fourth at Plumpton 31 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Disappointing the last twice but well treated on last year's best form and not written off. |
|||
(3)  (11/2 -38%)Hidalgo Des Bordes |
11/2(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hidalgo Des Bordes 11/2, Runner-up in an Irish point back in May 2022 and hinted at promise on 2 of his 3 starts over hurdles since the turn of the year, third of 12 in Plumpton maiden (15.9f) 38 days ago. Goes handicapping over fences now and better showing certainly not ruled out. Point winner who is open to improvement sent straight over fences for his handicap debut. |
|||
(5)  (20/1 +0%)Leading The Way |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Leading The Way 20/1, Modest maiden hurdler who offered little in pair of chase starts, latterly when well held last of 4 at Southwell (20.4f, heavy) in February. Mark has eased further but he can only be watched. His mark continues to fall but he was tailed off in February on his first two chase starts. |
|||
(6)  (25/1 -56%)Higgs |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Higgs 25/1, Veteran who hasn't tasted successful since 2018 and others arrive with more pressing claims judged on recent efforts. 3rd at Leicester in January but this 11yo has struggled since and is now 0-15 over fences. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
NINE NINE NINE has been kept busy since the turn of the year and with two wins over fences already registered, further success can come his way with both distance and ground in his favour once again. Yellow Jacket has to be feared despite being as yet unproven over a trip this far, while former point-to-pointer Hidalgo Des Bordes may well improve for this sterner test of stamina and switch to fences having shown some improvement over hurdles at Plumpton.
YELLOW JACKET has got back on track equipped with a tongue tie in recent starts, successful at Bangor prior to a good second at Huntingdon 18 days ago, and he earns the vote stepping back up in trip. Nine Nine Nine is another who arrives in form and can feature, whilst market confidence behind chase-debutant Hidalgo des Bordes would need to be viewed positively.
The point winner HIDALGO DES BORDES could relish the switch to fences and is taken to exploit a lowly mark on handicap debut.

(3)  (13/8 -30%)Damarta |
13/8(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Damarta 13/8, Improved performer over hurdles following wind surgery, confirming promise of his Uttoxeter third when running out a comfortable winner at Southwell (15.8f, soft) in January. Steady pace did him no favours at Huntingdon next time but there's a good chance that such a scenario will also ensue here. Won easily at Southwell then third in warm little race at Huntingdon; retains potential. |
|||
(1)  (15/8 -25%)Lemoncello |
15/8(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lemoncello 15/8, Didn't do much wrong in this sphere on the other side of the Channel and won 9-runner 4-y-o event on second chase start at Fontainebleau when last seen in October. Handicapper has taken no chances but leading yard does well with French recruits and the forecast testing conditions won't be a problem. New trainer does very well with French recruits; could have part to play on British debut. |
|||
(2)  (9/4 +32%)Tommie Gun |
9/4(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tommie Gun 9/4, Made a successful debut over hurdles in 2m novice at Southwell in December. Failed to build on that next 2 starts but back on track when third on handicap bow at Newbury (16.3f, soft) last time and should make his presence felt here off 1 lb lower. Third at Newbury on last month's handicap debut and he might be able to build on it. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Lemoncello was victorious over fences at Fontainebleau in October and has since switched to the Venetia Williams stable, so he would be of huge interest if the market speaks in his favour. However, preference is for TOMMIE GUN, who outran big odds to make the frame at Newbury and has been dropped 1lb. Sam Twiston-Davies is back on board and he could have more to offer on only his second handicap start. Damarta is not out of it on his best form.
TOMMIE GUN took a step back in the right direction last time and looks the on to be with. Damarta is preferred to Lemoncello for forecast purposes.
The Olly Murphy-trained DAMARTA remains of interest despite his third of five at Huntingdon, and is preferred over Lemoncello.

(1)  (10/3 +45%)Ballygrifincottage |
10/3(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ballygrifincottage 10/3, Useful novice hurdler who made a winning start over fences in novice at Haydock late in 2022. Lightly raced since but back to that sort of form when second of 10 in handicap chase at Sandown (24.2f, good to soft, 8/1) last month and remains feasibly treated. Went close at Sandown last month and could be bang there once more. |
|||
(5)  (9/2 -35%)Your Own Story |
9/2(-35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Your Own Story 9/2, Several creditable efforts before opening account over fences at Wetherby (30.9f) in March of last year and acquitted himself well in Scottish Grand National on final start of season. Figures off a handy mark and should be straighter for last month's solid Newcastle return. Encouraging return from absence at Newcastle last month and he's a possible player. |
|||
(4)  (9/2 -29%)Sure Touch |
9/2(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sure Touch 9/2, Had a productive 2022 over hurdles, winning 4 times, and better form when off the mark at the third attempt over fences at Uttoxeter before Christmas. Improved again when taking Taunton handicap chase (23f, good to soft) in decisive fashion latest and is one for the shortlist. Has won his last two; today's race is a tougher assignment but this 8yo is progressive. |
|||
(8)  (7/1 +7%)No Hubs No Hoobs |
7/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) No Hubs No Hoobs 7/1, Improved in first-time blinkers when winning at Wincanton (25.1f, heavy) in February and backed that up when scoring over same C&D last month. Raised 7 lb since but testing conditions will hold no fears for him. Convincing wins at Wincanton the last twice; strong candidate if his fine form continues. |
|||
(9)  (7/1 -17%)Trincomalee |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Trincomalee 7/1, Useful hurdler/chaser at his best but off 21 months and yet to match that form this term, including when fifth in Sandown handicap (24.2f) latest. Others more appealing. Behind two of these when fifth at Sandown but ran well for a long way and not ruled out. |
|||
(3)  (8/1 +11%)No Risk Des Flos |
8/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) No Risk Des Flos 8/1, Dual chase scorer (at up to 19.4f) last term and matched best effort of this campaign when fourth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (24.2f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Not discounted. Encouraging fourth at Sandown on first crack at 3m; worth persevering with at this trip. |
|||
(6)  (9/1 -20%)Laskalin |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Laskalin 9/1, Useful at his best and while he hasn't got his head in front this term, he returned to form when runner-up at Taunton (28.4f, soft) last month and is 8 lb below his last winning mark. Back to form when runner-up at Taunton last month but needs to back up that performance. |
|||
(2)  (10/1 +9%)Omar Maretti |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Omar Maretti 10/1, Landed a gamble when capitalising on further drop in the weights at Catterick (25.2f) in February but couldn't follow up in a more competitive contest at Newbury last month and others look better treated. No threat when 3rd at Newbury last time but still a fair run and he might not be far away. |
|||
(7)  (16/1 -45%)Dreaming Blue |
16/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dreaming Blue 16/1, Capitalised on a reduced mark with plenty to spare at Fontwell (17.8f, heavy) last week. Penalised 7 lb now but his useful claimer retains the ride and he must enter calculations. Won four-runner race over 2m2f at Fontwell recently; not discounted now back up in trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
BALLYGRIFINCOTTAGE produced a big effort to fill the runner-up spot at Sandown and has been put up 3lb. Dan Skelton's nine-year-old remains unexposed for his age and he could prove a tough nut to crack. Sure Touch came from last to first in comfortable fashion at Taunton in February and it would be no surprise to see him get involved off a 7lb higher mark. The hat-trick seeking No Hubs No Hoobs also holds an obvious chance.
NO HUBS NO HOOBS has looked a different proposition since fitted with blinkers and is taken to complete the hat-trick. It's difficult to rule any of his rivals out, however, with Sure Touch and Your Own Story particularly respected in what looks a cracking contest.
Topweight BALLYGRIFINCOTTAGE was a close second at Sandown last month and can go one better today. Sure Touch is second choice.

13/8(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kapal Layar 13/8, €72,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Nina The Terrier. Makes plenty of appeal yard with fine record in this discipline. Brother to bumper/hurdle winner Nina The Terrier; trainer does well in bumpers; player. |
|||
(8)  (3/1 +57%)Rupert's Wish |
3/1(+57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Rupert's Wish 3/1, €40,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fair hurdler Westerbee. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Father Matt. One to consider. 40,000euros 3yo; trainer won a division of this last year; could have a big part to play. |
|||
(6)  (6/1 -33%)Korus |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Korus 6/1, £38,000 3-y-o, Cokoriko gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Torn And Frayed, stays 3m, and fairly useful hurdler Pozo Emery. Might need further but likely to be tuned up. Half-brother to four winners who catches the eye on paper and is one to consider. |
|||
(9)  (7/1 -40%)Jessie Jump Jet |
7/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Jessie Jump Jet 7/1, Blue Bresil filly. Dam useful 19f-25f hurdle winner. Noteworthy newcomer for stable with a good record in this sphere. First foal; dam tough and useful 2m3f-3m1f hurdle winner for connections; interesting. |
|||
(4)  (15/2 -50%)English Willow |
15/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) English Willow 15/2, Telescope mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/modest hurdler Little Else. Dam (c112/h118) 2m-2¾m hurdle/chase winner. One for shortlist on debut given pedigree and connections. Half-sister to bumper/hurdle winner; trainer 3-14 in bumpers here in the past five seasons. |
|||
(5)  (10/1 +0%)Cornish Comedy |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cornish Comedy 10/1, Getaway gelding. Closely related to fair hurdler Don Brocco, stays 4m. Bred to stay well but still merits respect if the market speaks in his favour. Closely related to staying winner Don Brocco (RPR 102); a longer trip may be preferable. |
|||
(1)  (50/1 +0%)Bold Yeoman |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bold Yeoman 50/1, £1,500 3-y-o, Youmzain gelding. Half-brother to modest 3¼m chase winner Dangan des Champs and a point winner. Cheap purchase who is bred to need time and distance. 20,000euros foal, £1,500 3yo; related to winners but may be best watched. |
|||
(2)  (50/1 +0%)Dessie Haze |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dessie Haze 50/1, Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Brother to modest hurdler Beau Haze. Dam (h145) bumper/2m-2¾m hurdle winner. Brother to yard's 2m3f-2m4f hurdle winner Beau Haze (RPR 95); may be one for later on. |
|||
(7)  (66/1 +0%)Leader Wing |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Leader Wing 66/1, Wings of Eagles gelding. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner who stayed 8.5f. Not an obvious sort on paper. 5,500euros foal; third foal; dam 6f 2yo winner (RPR 72); others make greater appeal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
KAPAL LAYAR changed hands for 72,000 euros in June 2022 and is a brother to Nina The Terrier, who struck on her bumper debut before developing into a smart hurdler. The son of Milan goes for the in-form Olly Murphy stable and could make an impression on his first start. English Willow is related to a NH Flat race winner and she needs monitoring in the betting, along with 40,000-euro purchase Rupert's Wish.
KAPAL LAYAR's sister made a winning debut in bumpers and was later successful over hurdles at this track so, without the benefit of market clues, she might be the one to side with for a shrewd outfit. Several others make appeal on paper but English Willow and Jessie Jump Jet might be the most forward.
Olly Murphy does well in bumpers and 72,000euros purchase KAPAL LAYAR earns the vote. Rupert's Wish is second choice.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
